The University of London Library opened in 1877 with no more than German and Welsh translations of Hamlet, the Cambridge edition of Shakespeare’s works from 1863-6, and a volume of Shakespeare within the Anderson poets. This talk traces how, from inauspicious beginnings, the University Library came to boast early Shakespeare holdings as a major strength.
